My answer is that it's really one thing: Statism - which has brought us such 'wonderful' things as Democracy, AGW & Covidianism. Of course most Islamic nations are also States, so again statism. If ALL religious movements would simply remain as voluntary structures allowing people to come & go as they please, we wouldn't be in this mess.
@TylerAbeoJordan anarchism always loses to imperialism. Go live in CHAZ if you don't like states.
Anarchism is my daily life, so I don't really know what you are going on about.
It's the masses of Statists and those who foolishly toil under them that are losing out. It's a choice to use sound money, build your own network of local traders, and so leave the plantation.
But keep picking cotton if you like. It's your life.
@TylerAbeoJordan You're living in a fantasy land where people can individually bootstrap their way out of imperialism. You'll never cancel any commies further away than your back yard while they totally encircle you.
Communism is a self-collapsing economic system. I never have to worry about them. I don't live near any major areas, so no threats to me here.
Thinking you are trapped and can't bootstrap out is a victim mentality which is common among those in the cult - here's a secret - you've been trained to think that way by Statist culture and schooling.
@TylerAbeoJordan You are doing nothing more than sitting around waiting to be conquered yet you're proud of it, you're a fool. The empire never collapses it only changes forms and moves HQ elsewhere.
When I raise property taxes on people like you, you won't do anything about it. Your votes are fake they don't even count. You'll give up your shit or be killed by the police and in the end you'll have been defeated by a superior organization. All you're doing is building more shit for them.
@TylerAbeoJordan Fuck your freedom you hippy faggot. Your ideology is the reason America's a shithole now.
lol. I'm not a hippy. And I have zero to do with how America has turned out - I didn't vote for anyone there - so I'm not responsible for what happens there.
BTW, I am an ex-pat - I left the US 20+ years ago.
@TylerAbeoJordan You're a boomer jew and communists gained ground because you never had the balls to shut them down.
🤣 🤣
Believe whatever you want. That's a freedom you can exercise anytime - even living as a farm animal.
@mage
I don't pay property tax here as there is none - and if the local gov decides to do that I'll leave and go someplace else.
I don't vote either - not sure why you think a voluntaryist would vote - I don't.
Practically no cops where I live. I literally haven't seen one for five or so years.
To say the empires don't collapse is proof you don't read history. Get some books, that's the first step on your journey to freedom.
